lyrics

I can't quite get back there again
Under the sunshine with you
I can't quite recall your voice now
It is fading from my mind
The memory of your face
Drifts closer day by day
To the threshold of oblivion
To be forgotten forevermore

Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down

My heart breaks for the loss
This world endures now that your gone
The world feels emptier without you here
And its joys aren't as full or real
There's so much that I left unsaid
So much life you were yet to live
Forever twenty never twenty-one
Despite the weight of all these years

Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
Rest now, young man
Lay your wild hair down
Lay your wild hair down
Lay your wild hair down
Lay your wild hair down

about

Sosruko New Plymouth, New Zealand

The strange circumstances around Sosruko's birth fixed his lot in this world as an outsider, fated to wander from place to place, often a fool, often a stranger, knowing many guises and playing many games.
